Last month, new BBC Director General Matt Brittin said given current finances and changing audience habits it “may well mean” some channels and radio stations close so resources can be invested in on-demand services.
Brittin told BBC One’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg that “we wouldn’t guarantee any programme or any channel will exist forever”.
The BBC previously announced it would cut between 1,800 and 2,000 – almost one in 10 jobs – as part of measures to make £500m savings in the next two years.
In June, 550 job cuts were announced in news, nations and TV and radio content as part of its first stage of cuts.
In recent months, the BBC announced a series of closures of programmes including Blankety Blank, Celebrity Mastermind, Live At The Apollo and Football Focus. Cuts to radio programmes have also been announced.
The broadcaster, which has about 21,500 full time employees, gets most of its income from the licence fee, but the number of TV licences sold has been declining in recent years.
